All right, someone remind me: what was the Golden Week arc all about? I don't remember a single thing about it. I don't even know when it occurred. Or maybe I do know and I just don't know it was called Golden Week? Anyway, please refresh my memory.
EDIT: Oh wait, that's the Greek arc, isn't it? I always think of it as the "Greek Arc", or as the "Athena Arc" in combination with The End of the World. D'oh!

The Golden Week arc was when they were spending time in Greece. Hayate and Nagi bonded, we saw Athena, Hina and Hayate had a date, Hayate went to apologize to Athena for what he said ten years ago. They split up again. That's about it in a nutshell.

I caught up to the series right at the end of the golden week arc, and it was a fun ride. My only personal gripe is the neglect of Maria as the story has progressed (that ship sailed away without even a whimper =/). I guess it was a choice to bring other characters to the front but it still disappoints me. |

Right, I just remembered, thanks.

I've just read the latest chapter, and I thought it was rather funny, especially the ending. In fact, I cannot recall the last time HnG made me laugh this much. I think this was a rather good chapter.
I really love how Ayumu's simplicity tends to solve things. I seriously love that girl. Anyway, gentlemen: Spoiler:

I also think Hayate's reason make sense. He has indeed seen her naked and made her believe he was a girl. There are far too many things that could go wrong if Luca learns about the truth, and Hayate is trying to keep the lie, because he's not expecting her to be around him for too long.

Which is why instead of trying to borrow Hina's clothes, he should be heading into this meeting to tell the truth. This little shtick is not funny, it's not interesting and it's not leading anywhere (that I want to go) so it's pissing me off.

Besides, even he was going to tell her, it would be kind of hugely dickish for Hayate to just turn up in his normal clothes and be all "I'm a man dammit! Leave me alone!" At this point he's let things go so far over his head that he really doesn't have a nice or easy way to break it to her that isn't going to feel like betrayal, and it's in Hayate's personality that he'll go to ridiculous lengths to avoid hurting someone. In any event, I don't expect this to continue much longer. She'll find out soon enough, at least by the time the doujinshi showdown happens, I'm guessing. |

What's more interesting is how Luca apparently does not sell as much doujinshi as Nagi and Chiharu hyped. She was supposed to be the example Nagi looks up to when making doujins, but it turns out that she's having as much trouble as Nagi.

I'll wait till the next chapter to comment on that, but the fact is that the longer he keeps up the charade, the worse the inevitable fallout is going to be. It's going to introduce unnecessary drama over an issue that shouldn't even be such a big deal.

I think Nagi's dream this chapter highlighted something about her personality that isn't obvious if you don't read Yukariko's character profile in Volume 16. It more or less explains that Nagi's mom, while super-lucky and adored by everyone was basically useless at everything and couldn't do anything by herself. Nagi sort of defines herself by trying too hard to not be her mom and failing anyways. Hayate calling her a "hopeless" person in her dream underscores her own insecurity that she isn't actually good at anything. (It also says that Yukariko didn't die of illness and that he hopes to write more about Nagi's father some day. It's one of the more interesting of all the character profiles.) Quote:

In which case it will be as annoying as all those pages Hina wasted angsting over whether to tell Ayumu that she liked Hayate too, only to find out Ayumu didn't care. Either way the readers lose.
